I am trying to do Print Screens on an IBM AT with an HP Laser Jet Printer but am unable to print the extended character set used by the screen I am trying to print. These characters include double line boxes, single line boxes, and bar boxes. Various screen print programs I have tried do not work as the HP does not have this set. Does anybody know of a 'cheap' way of downloading the font for both the normal character set as well as the extended set? Does anybody know of a book that better explains how to download characters than the HP manual? Many thanks. Gary S. Mittleman Votek Systems Limited (416) 477-7977

Maybe someone will do a downloadable font which includes the IBM PC extended character set, but it would be a lot of work. How about it, HP? You seem to be the logical guys to take it on! -- ---------------- "... if the church put in half the time on covetousness Mike Farren that it does on lust, this would be a better world ..." hoptoad!farren Garrison Keillor, "Lake Wobegon Days"

It is listed in their catalog as a 'U' cartridge. We are ordering one, but haven't had a chance to test it's usefulness.
